To analyse the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and examine its related factors among nurses who worked during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Daegu, South Korea.
Nurses are a high-risk population for PTSD, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted to identify the nursing work environmental factors that should be addressed to reduce PTSD.
Using a cross-sectional design, 365 nurses were enrolled. Their characteristics (intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and COVID-19-related) and PTSD Checklist-5 scores were analysed.
The average PTSD score was 14.98 ± 15.94, and 16.5% of the participants had a high risk of PTSD. Nurses were more likely to have PTSD if they were married (odds ratio = 3.02, p = .013) and when nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support of nurses were low (odds ratio = 3.81, p < .001).
The nursing work environment was found to be associated with PTSD. Therefore, interventions are necessary to increase nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support for nurses to reduce the risk of PTSD among nurses.
Effective professional and social support and interventions to improve nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support of nurses are needed to reduce PTSD.
分析在韩国大邱市参与 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情的护士创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的患病率，并探讨其相关因素。
护士是 PTSD 的高风险人群，尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行期间。本研究旨在确定应解决的护理工作环境因素，以降低 PTSD。
采用横断面设计，纳入 365 名护士。分析他们的特征（个体间、人际间、组织间和与 COVID-19 相关的特征）和 PTSD 检查表-5 评分。
平均 PTSD 得分为 14.98±15.94，16.5%的参与者有 PTSD 高风险。如果护士已婚（优势比=3.02，p=.013），且护士管理人员的能力、领导能力和对护士的支持较低（优势比=3.81，p<.001），护士更有可能患有 PTSD。
护理工作环境与 PTSD 有关。因此，需要采取干预措施来提高护士管理人员的能力、领导能力和对护士的支持，以降低护士 PTSD 的风险。
需要提供有效的专业和社会支持，并采取干预措施来提高护士管理人员的能力、领导能力和对护士的支持，以降低 PTSD。
